TW,

Now that is sad. I learned a lot from watching him and the TV show "The Pitchman".

Unfortunately, I haven't had the chance yet to see "Pitchmen"... However, it was on my "radar" to look out for...

May he rest in peace, and my sympathies go to Billy Mays' family...

Best wishes,

Dien

Kind of strange, when I flew American Airlines last month the "American Way" in flight magazine had a three page spread on Billy. Interesting that he would die the same month from an injury on a flight.

Actually he didn't, shortly after the posting of this thread more information on Billy's health came out...

So Unfortunate that his enlarged heart problems didn't get noticed earlier on...

Unfortunately in so Many cases for so many people Medical Solutions are quite available if somehow Accurate diagnosis gets done and found before it's Too late...
http://news.google.com/news?um=1&ned...y+mays+autopsy

Those interested in Billy Mays personal and business life should definitely backup and watch the Pitch related videos I posted in the thread...

Excellent info on Billy's life and some Great business Lessons to contemplate and take into your Life too...
